Retired Government officer who also owned a cycle company - The Bespoke Bicycle Company - that I set up in 1976. I was the proprietor but also the frame-builder. Photos of a number of the original and bespoke ie custom frames - that I built can be found on this site.
I also imported and distributed frames and equipment from a number of French manufacturers such as TVT, CORIMA, Duret/Geliano, GUIMARD, JKF.
The firm sponsored many amateur riders including the national champion Marie Purvis who one several stages of Le Tour Feminin - the womens Tour de France - on Bespoke frames.
In 1993 Bespoke Cycles acted on behalf of Chris Boardman to arrange the contract for him to ride a CORIMA frame and wheels during his successful attempt on the World Hour Record at the Bordeaux track on 13 July 1993.
